Question

What is Anuvrat movement in the context of Swach Bharat?

Answer 1

The Anuvrat Movement has been engaged in the noble task of uplifting human life and revitalizing the rapidly crumbling moral and spiritual values among the people of the world irrespective of casts, creed and colour for the last three and a half decades.

Launched on March 1, 1949 by Acharya Shree Tulsi – the head of a Jain sect and a leading visionary of India – the Movement has since grown steadily in size and stature. Though it does not lay claim to any spectacular success or acheivement, there is no gains saving the fact that its universal appeal for gains saving the fact that its universal appeal for self-awakening has created a great impact on the outlook and behaviour of many people. It was hailed and patronised by eminent people like the late Dr. Rajendra Prasad. C Rajgopalachari, Pt. Jawarhalal Nehru, Dr S. Radhakrishnan and Jai Prakash Narayan. It has been striving to infuse with new life people degenerating fast into what T.S. Elliot aptly calls "automatications or living shadows inhibiting the great wasteland".
